Research
My research follows three major directions (1) understanding the neural circuits and molecular mechanisms that regulate neuroendocrine responses underlying psychological stress; (2) peri-puberty development of the neural circuits associated with sexual behavior; (3) reconstruction of three-dimensional computer graphic mouse brain atlas and neuro-informatics-based database particularly those involving the cataloguing of anatomic information.

Projects
Determine neural circuits and gene expressions of the hypothalamic neuroendocrine system in response to chronic psychological stresspostnatal development of the hypothalamic neurosecretory motor neurons in miceSystematically map the neural circuits and gene expressions of the classic limbic system and basal ganglia in mice
